• Develop and maintain a rolling 12–18 month statistical demand forecast across all 40 SKUs, updated monthly.
• Incorporate inputs from sales pipelines, marketing promotions, seasonality, and new product launches into baseline forecasts.
• Monitor forecast accuracy (MAPE/bias) and implement continuous improvement actions to close gaps.
• Identify demand signals (POS data, customer orders, distribution changes) and translate them into actionable forecast adjustments.
• Lead the monthly demand review as part of the S&OP cycle, presenting consensus forecast to cross-functional leadership.
• Facilitate alignment between Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Supply Chain on volume assumptions and business risks.
• Maintain a documented demand plan with clearly stated assumptions, risks, and opportunities.

Inventory & Supply Collaboration

• Support new SKU launches and phase-outs with launch curves, cannibalization estimates, and end-of-life planning.

Data, Reporting & Tools

• Own demand planning tools and data models; maintain clean, accurate master data for all SKUs.
• Build and publish weekly and monthly KPI dashboards (forecast accuracy, fill rate, inventory turns, days of supply, FG exposure/aging).
• Leverage ERP and planning systems to automate routine reporting and exception management.
• Build Excel-based model for near-term requirements. Work with cross-functional team to scope demand planning software needs.

Qualifications:

Required

• 3–5 years of demand planning, supply chain, or inventory management experience — CPG industry a must.
